ActionScript 2.0 :: Assign Text To Text Box
Apr 5, 2005
in may main timeline i am loading a text file - this is fine my button when rolled over is loading and xml file - this is fine when the button is rolled over it accesses the attributes of the xml - this is fine when the button is rolled over it should display some text - this is not working
The text it should display is from the text file loaded in the main timeline
the name of the text file is loaded from the XML. If i trace the names that are taken from the xml they are exactly as they should be and if i hardcode them in it works fine, but it does not work if i try and dynamically assign the name of textfile to the text box...
I have put the code below
Code:
on(release){
//this is just to show that hardcoding works
_root.info.text=airTxt.air
}
[Code].....

I've seen similar threads but couldn't find one with the exact same issue. I've a PDF / Word document with arabic copy when I try pasting that text in flash all the joined letters start appearing as individual letters.I've tried the dynamic text box solution in which you create a dynamic text box and assign the text to its variable that doesn't work. But strangely when you write arabic in dynamic text box (with out assigning the text to the variable) and double click to select the text box and its content the text starts appearing fine .. but when published its again all individual letter.

I have 3 movieclips on stage (inn0, inn1, inn2), each have a textfield as child. I want to do something like:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < arrayWords.length; i++){
"inn"+i.botNewTexto.text= arrayWords[0]
}
I can do:
inn0.botNewTexto.text= arrayWords[0]
inn1.botNewTexto.text= arrayWords[1]
inn2.botNewTexto.text= arrayWords[2]
But want to do it dynamically.How can I do that assignment?

I created an input text box. But when i try to go and click on the "variable" option to assign a variable i get this error: "This feature is not supported by ActionScript 3.0. To use this feature, you must target ActionScript 1.0-2.0." How can i do that? By the way, the variable textbox where you need to enter the variable name is gray. I can't write in it. I'm using flash CS4.

I have a FLA file which is a display that shows data that are loaded from a TXT file with the command (loadVariablesNum (Leitor.txt ", 0).I need one of these values
‹that are in TXT file (DATE = 20/12/1976
& TIME = 10:30 & CO2 = 500 & HUM & TEMP = 23 = 40), can be evaluated with the IF command so
that you can assign a different color to text as the display value.

I am using Flash5 to build a site. I have a main page with navigation bar to get around. The word "menu" is sitting on the right of the stage which contains the actions:
on(press) {
gotoandplay("expand")
}
which opens the nav bar on the bottom of screen. This works fine. However, the text was blurry on my site, so I switched the text from static to dynamic text, which solved the blurriness problem.
BUT, after switching the text, I discovered my "menu' button is not behaving as before.
Can one assign actions to dynamic text? If not, what do I do to still have legible text? Again, the menu bar and other links were working fine, but when switched to dynamic text, none of the navigation works.

I'm having some trouble with a flash 5 game I'm making. I'm attempting to make a simple choice game, where there are two input text boxes and each has a different meaning. Similar to url.... One for the smart remarks for a reply to their answer. The other for their score. I want the score added after the correct choice is made. [code]The problem is that I don`t know how to assign variables to the text boxes and the answers so that the score carries over from the last scene.

I'm attaching some label components dynamically using attachMovie(); and I'm finding that I can't assign text to the label fields at the same time - the text won't show up because the components are slow to initialize. I want to avoid spreading actionscript across frames. Is there any way to add an event listener for initialization?[code]

A scene with many dynamic text and several graphic. Example :
ActionScript Code:
some dynamic texts
hostname.text_ep0.text = "response from AMFPHP";
hostname.text_ep1.text = "response from AMFPHP";
hostname.text_ep2.text = "response from AMFPHP";
my_percentage_bar_ep0._width = "response from AMFPHP";
my_percentage_bar_ep1._width = "response from AMFPHP";
my_percentage_bar_ep2._width = "response from AMFPHP";
But what I want to do now its to associate each label textfield (hostname.text_ep2.text) and let's call them dynamic graphic (my_percentage_bar) to a panel of an accordion component. I drag an accordion on the scene and I want each panel to contain 1 dynamic text and 1 dynamic graphic.
ActionScript Code:
my_acc.createChild(View, "panel_ep0", {label: "Stats from node 0"});
my_acc.createChild(View, "panel_ep1", {label: "Stats from node 1"});
my_acc.createChild(View, "panel_ep2", {label: "Stats from node 2"});
[Code] .....
I dunno wanna put everything in a movieclip and then load the movieclip in the accordion panel

I made a basic text editor that lets users insert predefined strings into the document with button clicks. What I need to do now is let the user define their own buttons and string values. For example I have a button that inserts "Hello" into the text. The user may want to create a button that adds "Goodbye".To accomplish this I figured I would create a .txt file called buttons.txt or something. i would readutfbytee, loop through it to create the buttons. problem is I know what I want to do but not sure where to start

What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?

I have three dynamic text boxes. variables respectively
(caption0,caption1,caption2).
My xml file is structured as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<captions>
<caption>Roll over this</caption>
<caption>This is the first Caption.</caption>
<caption>This is the second Caption.</caption>
</captions>
I am trying to create a rollover where when you rollover caption0; caption1 and caption2 are displayed in sequence. Everything works except though only the first caption is ever displayed. For the other two I get "level0.caption1" and "level0.caption2" instead of the text in the xml file above. How do I parse the data so that each of the variables are assigned the text in the xml file?

I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?

When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.

I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.

Problem: I am trying to get a very simple text resize going, for my main content area in a flash website. My aim is to get a button, that on click, increases the text size of a dynamic text field.
[Code]....
This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
